U+10F79 "𐽹" Old Uyghur Letter Mem is a character from the Old Uyghur script, representing the sound equivalent to the consonant "m" in the historical written language used by Uyghur communities from roughly the 8th to 17th centuries. This script was adapted from the Sogdian alphabet and is a precursor to the modern Mongolian and Manchu scripts, using a cursive vertical writing system that reads in columns. The Mem letter appears as a glyph with a distinctive rectangular or curved shape, typically used in religious, legal, and literary texts such as Buddhist manuscripts and inscriptions, reflecting its role in preserving the linguistic and cultural heritage of the Old Uyghur Turkic language. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard under the Uyghur block allows for digital representation and study of this ancient writing system.
